Today,we're focusing on verses 14–16, which say, "When the hour had come, He,Jesus, sat down, and the twelve apostles with Him. Then He said to them, 'Withfervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.For I say to you, I will no longer eat of it until it is fulfilled in thekingdom of God.'" Most Bible scholars believe that the following verses17–20, which describe the institution of the Lord's Supper, take place at theend of the supper, so we'll come back to those verses. Toget the full glimpse of what is taking place we remember that that it is Thursdayevening, which would have been the Jewish Friday, because sundown begins thenext day for the Jewish people. We also believe these events took place in theupper room in the city of Jerusalem. Whenever I have visited Israel we always goto this location I Jerusalem, not the same building, but an upper room where wetake the Lord's Supper with our tour group. Webelieve that's what takes place in verses 17–20. But before Jesus institutedthe Lord's Supper, the Lord has the Jewish Passover supper with His disciples. Rememberthat Jesus sent Peter and John ahead to prepare for this supper. The lamb hasbeen slaughtered and roasted. Some tell us that the lamb was roasted with apomegranate stick stuck through the middle and another crossway through thelamb, then roasted over the fire for the Passover meal—a picture of the crossof Christ, suffering on a cross, crucified for our sins and your sins. Inverse 14, it says, "When the hour had come," and we've talkedabout the hour that Jesus knew would be on that day, an hour that He would goto a cross and suffer. During this time, the Passover supper takes place inthis upper room. If you want to read the details of what was said in the upperroom, go to John chapters 13, 14, 15, 16, and possibly even chapter 17, whereJesus prays His High Priestly Prayer. We know that prayer could have takenplace in the upper room or on the way to Gethsemane when He left, because John18:1 says, “When Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciplesover the Brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which He and His disciplesentered.” Somethingelse to notice in John chapter 13: the first thing Jesus did when they enteredthe room, as the host of the Passover dinner, was kiss each of the disciples,which means He would have kissed Judas, whom He knew would betray Him. Somebelieve Judas sat on His left and John on His right, as described in John12:23. In the upper room, Jesus washes the disciples' feet giving them anexample of humility. Which apparently the disciples didn't learn from it. Becauselater, after the Passover meal, the disciples argue over who's going to begreatest in the kingdom (Luke 22:24-30). InJohn 14, Jesus tells the disciples not to let their hearts be troubled and givesthem the promise of heaven, the promise that He will come again, and thepromise of the Holy Spirit. In John 15, Jesus gives the message of abiding inHim—He is the vine, and we are the branches. In John 16, He goes into detailabout the Holy Spirit, the Comforter who will come and be with them. Jesusknows the hour has come and says, “I will no longer eat of it until it isfulfilled in the kingdom of God."(v.16). Jesus no doubt said this because He knew this Passover time would fulfillall the Old Testament scriptures of the Passover Lamb. Jesus, that PassoverLamb, is the last Passover. In verses 17–20, we see the institution of theLord's Supper, which is now left for us, the church. Theseare very interesting scriptures. I trust you will get a glimpse into thesuffering of our Lord and understand what He did for you and me in a specialand unique way. Godbless!

CBQ - Courtney, does your creativity drive you crazy? Episode Summary In this episode, we explore the double-edged sword of creativity in the workplace. Courtney and Juan unpack how creativity can fuel innovation — but also drive us (and our teams) a little crazy. From perfectionism and procrastination to embracing imperfection and experimentation, we talk about finding that sweet spot where creative energy is productive, not paralyzing. Highlights [00:01:00] “We encourage creativity — but in the workplace, sometimes it's annoying… and sometimes we annoy ourselves.” [00:06:30] “You can be creative in ways you don't even realize — like building experiences, designing flows, or crafting how others interact with your work.” [00:12:10] “When you've built a process or flow and someone comes in to change it, it can feel like they're calling your baby ugly.” [00:18:45] “You don't have a paint-by-numbers path when you're creating something new — and that's part of the challenge.” [00:22:15] “If you're not driving yourself a little crazy with your creativity, you're probably not being that creative.” Follow Juan on LinkedIn Follow Courtney on LinkedIn Check out CareerBlindspot.com Follow on LinkedIn and Instagram → Your listening perspective matters - 5 min survey.

Complementary Old Testament Passage:Psalm 69:22-28 Sermon Outline: The Apostles bear witness to how the Old Testament is fulfilled Why Judas office needed to be filled Qualifications of the Apostles and the finished work of Christ Family Discussion Questions: What happened to Judas Iscariot? Was Judas betrayal a surprise to God? Was was Mathias chosen to replace Judas? What was special about the 12 Apostles? Why is the way an elder is chosen different than how an Apostle was chosen? How can forgetting about the qualifications of an Apostle leave us to ignore the finished work of Christ? What does this passage teach us about the connection between Gods sovereignty and real human responsibility, choice and sin? How would you respond to a person claiming to be an Apostle? Why did there need to be 12 Apostles at Pentecost? How does the repeated naming of the Apostles show the kindness and clarity of God to His people? In other words, consider how much harder the churchs job would be if God did not name and identify the Apostles?

The Day of Pentecost – The Promise Fulfilled (All Saints Anglican Church; Peachtree City, GA) MESSAGE SUMMARY: The Day of Pentecost – The Promise Fulfilled (All Saints Anglican Church; Peachtree City, GA) In 1900, a Roman Catholic Nun obeyed the voice of the Lord, and she wrote to Pope Leo encouraging him to pray for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit. This request began a chain of events: a nun wrote a letter; a Pope and his Cardinals prayed; and the world received a Pentecostal outpouring of the Holy Spirit through many Christian denominations during a great revival in the early twentieth century. Today, the world, along with all of us, needs to be renewed with a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Pentecost, initially, was about: people being filled with the Holy Spirit; people received Spiritual gifts; and people witnessing for Jesus. On this initial day of Pentecost, Peter stood up and preached a sermon. Afterwards, he was asked: “What must we do to be saved?”. Peter responded in Acts 2:38-39: “And Peter said to them, ‘Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.'". These events of the initial Pentecost and from the various revivals of the 20th Century relating to the Charismatic Movements are normal Christianity; this outpouring of the Holy Spirit is what God intends for His people. If we are going to have a growing relationship with Jesus, we must be filled with the Holy Spirit who enables us to know and commune with the Lord. The Holy Spirit will never lead followers of Jesus in any thing that contradicts the Bible, God's Word. In recent times, there have been teachings, regarding the Holy Spirit, that do not conform to the Bible. Too many of us are trying to live the Christian life without the Holy Spirit. The question is asked: “When do we receive the Holy Spirit?”. We cannot put God in a box regarding a timing for the receipt of the Holy Spirit. However, a better question is: “Have we received the Holy Spirit?”. We are told in John 3:8: “The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.". Therefore, the real question should be: “Does the Holy Spirit have me?”. Until we surrender our lives to Jesus, the Holy Spirit cannot indwell our lives and lead us. The best answer to the timing our receipt of the Holy Spirit is: “We should receive the Holy Spirit every day.”. We should pray every day for the Holy Spirit to fill us. We know that, if we are filled with the Holy Spirit, we are given the “fruit of the Spirit”, as described by Paul in Galatians 5:16-26: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law." If we are filled with the Holy Spirit, we will bear the fruits of the Spirit and not the flesh. However, if we sin, we are not in the Holy Spirit. Pentecost reminds us that if we yield our lives to the will of God through the Holy Spirit, we are filled with the Holy Spirit; and we are given Spiritual gifts to witness for Jesus. If we are filled with the Holy Spirit; others see Jesus in us – this countenance of Jesus, seen through our lives, is the most powerful tool a Christian can have for evangelism. Are you grieving the Holy Spirit or are you filled with the Holy Spirit? TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 129). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!

The victorious Christ, crucified, risen, ascended, and reigning from above, now inaugurates the promised New Covenant. It is the consequence of the cross and is about to be realized with dramatic force. The scene that sets in motion all that follows is one of deep significance. It marks a rich fulfillment. In relatively recent times, the attention and assumptions attached to the Day of Pentecost are often off center. In this introductory sermon to one of the most pivotal days in redemptive history, the firstfruits of the New Covenant are explained in the fulfillment of the Day of Firstfruits.

“Critical thinking is the ability to analyze, evaluate, and reason through information logically. It's about questioning your and others' assumptions, recognizing biases, and seeking evidence before forming conclusions. Wisdom, on the other hand, transcends simple logic. It calls upon the spirit, not just the mind. It seeks the Light — the knowing of a matter. It discerns the unseen and weighs the good of every situation beyond mere logic. Truth is only ever found in immutable reality, but what often serves us better is understanding — a deeper grasp that wisdom provides, aligning with the eternal rather than chasing fleeting facts.” – Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave Lanyon In the past year, I had a hip replacement, got engaged, moved into a new home with my fiancé, and walked with him through the ups and downs of his liver disease. I continued running a law practice, took the Florida Bar exam — twice — and wrote two books. At the same time, I continued my mission as a Guide in the Lineage of King Salomon, initiating those ready to walk the path of progression. People say if you want something done, ask a busy person. I might just be that person. But for the first time in my life, I also had to let some things go. I quit some commitments. I stopped doing things that no longer aligned with the quality I expect of myself or the service I offer others. Because when everything piles on, even the strong have to reevaluate. So this year, I chose to attend only the required Professional Integration Days (PIDs) with the Modern Mystery School International, — not to pursue more training, but to honor my current bandwidth. I came in feeling a mix of pragmatism (yay, boundaries!) and a little FOMO over not diving deeper into the higher-level teachings. But from day one, something was different. This wasn't just another “recert.” It was real Light, real Teaching — the kind that delivers weeks' worth of transformation in just a few days. And one of the biggest insights that landed for me? The art of getting things done isn't just about doing more. On the surface, it seems simple: take action, get results. That's Hermetic Principle #6 — Cause and Effect. Action leads to reaction, which leads to outcomes. Kabbalistically: Idea → Thought → Plan → Action = Result. Magickally: you place the ingredients in a container, add the right energy, and something new is born. But here's the nuance: you can accomplish a lot through sheer will. But at the end of the day,do you have anything meaningful to show for it? Have you gained wisdom, or just collected gold stars? If I had focused only on being a good lawyer, I'd probably be a partner in a firm by now,and miserable. I'd have achievements and accolades, sure. But a hollow life. Thankfully, something deeper stirred in me,a knowing that just being “successful” by society's standards wasn't enough. I wanted more. I needed joy. Fulfillment. Purpose. And when I didn't have those things, I numbed the ache with food, alcohol, and distraction. Some people thought I should be grateful and settle. But I couldn't. The mundane was never my calling. We don't come into this world with an owner's manual that tells us our purpose on page 42. We fumble, experiment, search. And if we're fortunate, we encounter someone with a key,someone who helps us fumble more efficiently, and begin to uncover our own answers. From a young age, I knew there was something greater. As a little girl talking to Jesus in my heart, I felt it. That drive led me to Catholic confirmation, then to studying Buddhism, and later to a degree in Philosophy. All gave me glimpses, but never the full picture. What stuck with me from that academic journey was my advisor, Mr. West, who told me: “These people,CEOs, world leader,they have degrees in philosophy. Logic and reasoning can take you anywhere. The others are just hoping someone will tell them what to do.” And he was right. That skillset carried me through law school and beyond. But critical thinking alone doesn't lead to fulfillment. For that, we need wisdom. And true wisdom doesn't live in textbooks. I found the key,my first real key,in May of 2014 at Healer's Academy in Toronto. I had no idea why I went. I had no plan to be an energy healer,I was a lawyer, a senior project manager. Where was that going to fit in? But something called me. And when I came home and gave my first Life Activation, everything changed. It changed her life. And that changed mine. In that moment, I discovered something far beyond the mundane: I had the power to help someone heal. To step into more joy and wholeness. And for the first time, I felt real fulfillment. The kind that isn't logical, but undeniable. The kind that propels you forward through every obstacle. That's when everything in my life began to shift. My partner at the time left. My home no longer felt like home. My job felt empty. The distractions lost their pull. So I did what felt right, I kept serving. I did mystic fairs. I gave rune readings. I coached. I opened my own business. I started teaching. And though my calendar was packed, my heart was full. Service became my soul fuel. I chose the Ritual Master path. Learned new modalities. Served more people. And when I saw the power of initiation changing lives, I knew: I couldn't keep it to myself. I had to become a Guide. With each step, I became a bigger version of myself. Not because I wanted to be “bigger” — but because I had to grow to hold the energy of the work. To live the magick. To be the living embodiment of the teachings. Not as a performance,but as a demonstration. A beacon. So here I am, 14 years in, returning to Toronto for my 12th Professional Integration Day. Grateful. Fulfilled. Wise.Not because I know everything, but because I've been willing to act, fall down, reflect, realign, and keep going. I've learned that fulfillment lives on the other side of service. That wisdom is forged through aligned action. That getting things done isn't just about doing,it's about doing the right things, in the right order, for the right reasons. This isn't just productivity. This is purpose-driven, soul-aligned action. And that is how we become wise. Need help refueling your actions with the right flame? I can help with that. Reach out to me and lets align your path with your purpose!

Acts 13:13-43 13 Now Paul and his companions set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. And John left them and returned to Jerusalem, 14 but they went on from Perga and came to Antioch in Pisidia. And on the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down. 15 After the reading from the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent a message to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have any word of encouragement for the people, say it.” 16 So Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said: “Men of Israel and you who fear God, listen. 17 The God of this people Israel chose our fathers and made the people great during their stay in the land of Egypt, and with uplifted arm he led them out of it. 18 And for about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness. 19 And after destroying seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance. 20 All this took about 450 years. And after that he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet. 21 Then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. 22 And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, of whom he testified and said, ‘I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will.' 23 Of this man's offspring God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, as he promised. 24 Before his coming, John had proclaimed a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 25 And as John was finishing his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. No, but behold, after me one is coming, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.' 26 “Brothers, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to us has been sent the message of this salvation. 27 For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers, because they did not recognize him nor understand the utterances of the prophets, which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him. 28 And though they found in him no guilt worthy of death, they asked Pilate to have him executed. 29 And when they had carried out all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb. 30 But God raised him from the dead, 31 and for many days he appeared to those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people. 32 And we bring you the good news that what God promised to the fathers, 33 this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus, as also it is written in the second Psalm, “‘You are my Son, today I have begotten you.' 34 And as for the fact that he raised him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he has spoken in this way, “‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.' 35 Therefore he says also in another psalm, “‘You will not let your Holy One see corruption.' 36 For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep and was laid with his fathers and saw corruption, 37 but he whom God raised up did not see corruption. 38 Let it be known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, 39 and by him everyone who believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses. 40 Beware, therefore, lest what is said in the Prophets should come about: 41 “‘Look, you scoffers, be astounded and perish; for I am doing a work in your days, a work that you will not believe, even if one tells it to you.'” 42 As they went out, the people begged that these things might be told them the next Sabbath. 43 And after the meeting of the synagogue broke up, many Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who, as they spoke with them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.

Amazon just dropped a major update to Seller Fulfilled Prime—and it's going to impact every seller using a 3PL or fulfilling Prime orders from their own warehouse.

I also share behind-the-scenes updates from my own business, including: A liquidation project I'm running for a wholesale client Exciting progress with all five of my Black Panther done-for-you clients now that tariffs have dropped And how one of my Weavos clients has already hit $853 in sales halfway through May—outpacing all of April for this revival project Plus, I explain how Amazon's new OTDR protection works using Shipping Settings Automation and Buy Shipping—and why that combo might be your best defense against Prime suspension.
